How does Opalescence™ teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening involves removing stains and discoloration from both the enamel and the underlying dentin layers of a tooth. The enamel, which is the outermost and usually the lighter-colored layer, acts as a protective shell. Beneath it lies the dentin, which is darker and constitutes most of the tooth’s structure. Over time, enamel can become stained by substances like coffee, tea, tobacco, and certain foods, and it also naturally thins with age. As enamel thins, more of the darker dentin shows through, causing teeth to look less bright.
Opalescence whitening gels contain potent bleaching agents, primarily carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. These substances break down into water, oxygen, and highly reactive oxygen molecules, which penetrate tooth enamel and dentin. The reactive oxygen interacts chemically with the stain molecules, breaking their bonds and altering their structure, which leads to visibly lighter and whiter teeth.
Is teeth whitening for everyone?
Teeth whitening offers a safe and comfortable method to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. Treatment duration and results can vary based on the severity of staining and your desired shade. It’s important to note that dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, fillings, and veneers do not respond to whitening. Individuals with gum disease, enamel erosion, cavities, or exposed tooth roots may not be suitable candidates for whitening treatments. We recommend consulting with your dentist before beginning whitening to determine the most appropriate professional option for your unique dental needs.
Will teeth whitening give me sensitive teeth?
Tooth sensitivity can be a common side effect of teeth whitening, but studies show that Opalescence whitening does not damage tooth enamel. When sensitivity does occur, it is usually temporary and tends to resolve after the whitening treatment is finished.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Teeth whitening results tend to be long-lasting, providing you with a radiant smile well beyond the completion of your treatment. However, several factors can influence how long the brightness lasts. Genetics, dietary choices, aging, certain medications (such as tetracycline), and habits like smoking can all impact the durability of your whitening results. The good news is that touch-up treatments are simple and convenient, allowing you to maintain your bright, white smile with ease.
